Good work is better shared.

The research and innovation sector is navigating a period of real complexity, tightening compliance environments, evolving governance expectations, and a growing recognition that inclusion has to be built into practice, not bolted on. We know that the people working through these challenges day to day don't always have time to start from scratch.

These resources draw on our work with universities, research organisations, funders, charities and the wider sector. We hope they help you think more clearly about the issues you're facing, give you practical starting points, and support you to make the case for change within your own organisation.

 

Some are freely available and curated from across the sector. Others have been developed by Formation, for these, we ask for your contact details so we can keep you informed as new resources are published.
